Chapter 264: Drill (2)

For these two words, Yang Xiong is no stranger, in the past when Qin Huai was still alive, it was often held, and it will be held once a year, one is that the emperor wants to understand the strength of each army, and the other is to show the prestige of the monarch, because every exercise is the Praetorian Guard has the upper hand. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The emperor added: "The exercise can be held after our hunting, and now I want to take you to General Ling's military camp to see General Ling's soldiers, I wonder if you are interested?" ”

Finally talking about the theme, Yang Xiong smiled and said, "The last general will obey the order." Without any extra words, he agreed at once.

No matter what the emperor's wishful thinking is, anyway, he really wants to see how powerful Ling Fengjun is, and it will never hurt to find out as soon as possible.

After agreeing, the emperor immediately called Zang Batu, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, and asked Zang Batu to mobilize five hundred Imperial Forest Army and escort him to the Ling Feng military camp.

Zang Batu is a person outside the northern frontier, in the early years by the first emperor subdued, from an ordinary soldier to sit up, then was selected the Praetorian Guard, then the Praetorian Guard, and finally became the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, this period took a full twenty years, the test of Zang Batu is one after another, his loyalty to the royal family, can be said to be unparalleled.

The emperor set off, and Yang Xiong, Zang Batu, and five hundred imperial forest troops headed towards the Lingfeng North Campus together.

At the moment when the emperor set off, Ling Feng had already learned the news, so he also came to the North School Field early to wait, and all the selected soldiers lined up in the North School Field.

Ling Feng took Zhang Wu, Qin Liang, Liao Yun, Han Yong, Li Yan, Zhang Ming, and other generals to the gate of the school camp, full of flags and mighty. Everyone stood outside the camp, waiting quietly, and every once in a while, someone came to report where the emperor's emperor had gone.

Today, the soldiers who are standing guard outside the camp to greet the emperor are all soldiers and horses under Qin Liang, that is, Ling Feng's personal soldiers, a total of 1,000 people, lined up in four queues from the gate of the camp, and have been extending outward, they don't know how their martial arts are, but standing outside the camp is to beat their bodies straight, plus the new black armor, which makes people's eyes shine, the most important thing is that today's flags are planted a little too much, and they look even more powerful.

"Newspaper... His Majesty is three miles away. ”

"Got it, let's find out and report again."

"No."

The soldier who reported the message turned and left.

Ling Feng turned around and looked at the generals and soldiers behind him, and shouted, "Listen, you have to show the momentum of fighting the enemy on the battlefield, and you must not be ashamed." ”

"Yes..." Everyone replied in unison.

Liao Yun seemed to be a little puzzled, slowly walked up from the rear, came to Ling Feng's left side, and asked in a low voice: "Lord, the emperor's move is nothing more than to let Yang Xiong see the strength of my northern army, so as to suppress Yang Xiong and make Yang Xiong even more jealous of us; But... Is it really okay for us to push the boat down the river? With all due respect, it seems that our shadow hiding strength is better. ”

Liao Yun deserves to be a brave and resourceful general, and he broke the little emperor's intentions with one word, in fact, Ling Feng also thought of this, since the emperor asked him to return to the court, he thought that the emperor wanted to balance the forces in the court, especially the imperial capital, and he must maintain an absolute balance, and he must also be able to shock the rebels.

However, Ling Feng's idea was unknown to Liao Yun, and the reason why he wanted to plan was also a helpless move, because in the north school field of the imperial capital, every move of the army could be said to be under the watchful eye of the emperor, whether the soldiers were elite enough, I was afraid that he would already know, what was the use of shadow hiding, but it would make the emperor dissatisfied; For example, the wolf cavalry has all changed to blood-red armor, who will know about this except for the soldiers in the barracks? During this period, no one left the barracks, but the emperor just knew, so it was better to be honest, and there was no harm in cooperating with the emperor, but it would make Yang Xiong jealous, and he would act much smoother in the future.

Ling Feng replied: "General Liao, I have already decided on this matter, and the soldiers are already ready, even if it is too late to change, you don't need to say it." ”

"No." Liao Yun retreated, but he reserved his opinion, he still felt that the strength of the Shadow Treasure was better, because he felt that the imperial capital was actually not peaceful, maybe sooner or later there would be a round of Yang Xiong, or even with the Emperor, so the strength of the Shadow Treasure was very necessary, but since Ling Feng insisted on doing so, he had no choice but to obey.

Time passed, and at noon, the emperor's frame finally appeared in everyone's sight.

When the emperor traveled, it was naturally very pompous, with countless dependents, bands, and frames and flags, plus five hundred imperial forest troops and five hundred Yang Xiong's personal soldiers, it seemed that they had sent more than a mile, just like a colorful dragon slowly coming towards the military camp.

When the emperor's carriage was about to arrive, Ling Feng led all the soldiers to kneel down to greet him. This is a necessary etiquette, even if Ling Feng is in a high position, he can't ignore it, he doesn't need to salute when he sees him, but now he must see a courtesy.

"General Ling, generals, quickly ascend." The little emperor walked over and said with a smile.

Ling Feng and the others got up and stood aside; The emperor walked towards the barracks, and Ling Feng naturally followed behind the emperor.

The emperor's carriage slowly followed, and they entered the barracks together, and all kinds of pro-soldiers and royal forest soldiers also drove with them, in an orderly manner.

Ling Feng and Yang Xiong walked side by side and stood behind the emperor, and the two couldn't help but glance at each other, smiling falsely, each with his own thoughts in his smile.

Entering the barracks, it can be seen that the more than 20,000 elites selected by Ling Feng, as well as Zhang Wu's wolf cavalry army, are distributed in the center of the school field, standing guard all around, and so on, as long as everyone can see the place, all of them are selected soldiers, as for the remaining tens of thousands of people, they have been hidden by Liao Yun and others, and they have returned to the camp to stand by.

20,000 people, with 1,000 people as a phalanx, a total of 20 phalanxes, standing side by side, spread out in the school field; Zhang Wu's wolf cavalry was in the center, and the blood-red armor was in stark contrast to the black-armored soldiers around him.

On this endless school field, more than 20,000 troops lined up, and everyone looked at it, and it was absolutely impossible to see the end, so the emperor and Yang Xiong and the others didn't know how many people were standing in front of them today.

After entering the barracks, everyone headed towards the Shuai Tai.

Yang Xiong's gaze has always been on the soldiers standing guard, as well as the soldiers standing in the middle of the school field, these soldiers seem to be calm on the surface, standing there motionless, but if you look closely, there is an invisible murderous aura revealed from their eyes.

Yang Xiong retracted his gaze and walked up to the stage with the emperor and others.

Everyone sat down, and the emperor smiled: "I often hear the first emperor praise General Ling's army as a rare elite division in the world. ”

"The emperor praised it falsely, but he just fought a few more battles than others." Ling Feng smiled. This doesn't sound like modesty, it's quite a bit of a show-off, Yang Xiong's army has also pacified the Western Xinjiang and guarded the Western Xinjiang, but everyone knows that in fact, there are not many rebels in the Western Xinjiang, and it is reasonable for Yang Xiong to be able to quell the rebellion, and most of the soldiers under his command have never experienced the battle of life and death, especially the recruits recruited later, let alone participated in the battle; And Ling Feng is different, almost all the soldiers in his hands now are veterans, none of them have never been on the battlefield, even if they are hidden in the camp tent now, most of them are Wei Ning's soldiers and horses who surrendered before, and Wei Ning's soldiers and horses have also fought with Pang Yi many times, so they can still be called veterans, in the battle in Qingliang County, Wei Ning's army made Zhang Ming and others suffer a big loss, so it is not an exaggeration to call it elite.
